The Distinguished PhsGaa Surgeon and Specialist.
Scientific Analysis of His Character From chronological
Standpoint.

DR.. J. S. Curtis, whose portrait appears
herewith, is at present extensively adver-
tised to the people of Dallas and sur
rounding country as physician, surgeon
and specialist, in the cure of certain
! chronic diseases. His claims to the con-
tidence and patronage OF the public are
set forth in numerous testimonials, press
notices, etc, and as far as these evidences
| of his character are to be taken as true
! he comes well recommended. But the
| best evidence CT skill in his protested
| business, trade, profession or pursuit, is
! that given by the Psychological develop
ment of the claimant, be he physician or
! blacksmith, lawyer or mechanic. IN the
| presence of the expert phrenologist the
DISCUSSES of life fall to the ground, the
charlatan is exposed, the clumsy operator
confounded and the true merit OF charac-
ter possessing value appreciated.
The following facts regarding DR.. Cur
It's were developed after careful pnreno-
logical examination made at the Grand
Windsor hotel on Monday, January 10,
1887, by Prof. William Windsor. DR..
Curtis, as will be inferred from the por-
trait above, is a dark comple1ioned, pre-
possessing gentleman of pOrtly appear
ance, slightly above medium height, and
weighing 1876 pounds. HIS heir is slightly
tinged with gray in the regions of the
temples, and the temperature Of the from
tai region is high, denOting great activity
of the Intellectual lobe of the brain. He
is American born, being native OF Cape
May, n. j., a graduate of Cincinnati Col
lege of Medicine and Surgery, class of
1878, and shows unmistekable evidence of
having travelled extensively snd developed
the faculties most useful il the demands
of his profession.
il well-proportioned body is surmount-
ed by 8 head 24 inches in basiIar circum-
ference, and measuring l6 inches across
the crown. This measurement indicates
brain of unusual size, and the develop
ment being symmetrical, with quality
combining strength, delicaCy and reSpOn-
siveness, well nourished by q strong vital
ity, the conclusion is warranted that he is
capable Of vast amount of brain labor
In any profession in which he may see Il t
to devote himself. -
DR.. Curtis, however, possesses the de-
velopment peculiar to the ideal physician.
1t would have been moral wrong feT him
to sacrifice his pre-eminent abilities in
this direction to any her calling. His
temperament Is strong Biliods-Vital,
combining tenacitv, executive and in
tellaCtual force with strong natritiye
powers, warm sympathy, kindness and
social qualities.
The occip;tal region is largely devel
oped, and his strong AmauvensSs and
PhiloprJ genitiveness enable him to obtain
in q remarkable degree the confidence Cf
women and children. To Sacn patients
he has magnetic presence, inspiring
hope and confidence, which is on absO
lutte necessity in the treatment of all
classes of persons, and does more good
than medicine. Ladies and children Of
delicate sensitive organization will fire.
queDtiy submit to an operation at bis
hands p2ssively where less magnetic
practitioner would dod an inability to OPP
crate through the nervousness OF his pa
tleut. n
The Doctor is not wanting in SelfEs-
TEEN. His head rises nigh il The region
of Firmness, Seli-ISteem and Approbat-
ivenesS, and he hGs towering ambition
and desire to lead. He will not accept
a subordinate position in any calling, and
will spare no pains to secure the knowl-
edge Necessary to lead. He
